Description from the seller

Carved wooden panel from the Asmat people of southwest New Guinea. Asmat woodcarving holds an important place in local cultural life, closely connected with ancestral traditions and community identity. The panel measures 116 cm in length. It remains in good overall condition, with some minor cracks in the wood consistent with age. A distinctive piece for collectors of Asmat and Oceanic art.

Seller's Story

my wife Paula van den Berg and I, Koos Tuber, both anthropologists, traveling a lot through Papua New Guinea and West Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Solomon Islands and Vanuatu (formerly New Hebrides). We love local tribal arts, we collected thousands and thousands of artifacts, all authentic, sometimes old, sometimes more recently but mainly used objects in local traditional cultures. We are happy to give more detailed information about the artifacts we sell here on Catawiki. Please feel free to contact us.
